Summary
In 1770s Boston, a prosperous merchants daughter, Eliza Boylston, lives a charmed life -- until war breaches the walls of the family estate and forces her to live in a world in which wealth can no longer protect her. As the chaos of the Revolutionary War tears her family apart, Eliza finds herself drawn to her uncles slave, John Watkins. Their love leads to her exile in Braintree, Massachusetts, home to radicals John and Abigail Adams and Elizas midwife sister-in-law, Lizzie Boylston. But even as the uprising takes hold, Eliza cant help but wonder whether a rebel victory will grant her and John the most basic of American rights
